Maneuvers by Ted Cruz’s campaign that would allow the Texas senator to walk away with 10 more delegates from the Louisiana presidential primary than the state’s top vote-getter, Donald Trump, may end up in court. The reality-TV star and GOP frontrunner, who won the state by 3.6 percentage points on March 5, declared Sunday on Twitter that because Cruz’s camp is legally using its organizational sway to take away extra delegates, he might have to bring a lawsuit. “Just to show you how unfair Republican primary politics can be, I won the state of Louisiana and get less delegates than Cruz,” Trump wrote. “Lawsuit coming.”
